I have several years of freelance design. Over these years I have worked with many satisfied customers. The logo section of my site features many of these logo designs. Visit the recently added testimonial page to read comments from past customers.

If you are interested in starting a design project, feel free to email me. Let me know any details of the project, such as the text, illustrations you would like, colors, design style, etc. I will then send a price quote/agreement statement. Low resolution images with a watermark will be sent for you to proof, and when the design is approved and payment is complete, I will send the final files. Files are normally sent as Jpeg and vector PDF files. The vector format allows for editing or enlarging as needed, and is usable for any printing needs. Other formats can also be sent upon request.

Advertised prices are priced for basic designs, which apply to most projects. More complex or time consuming designs may have additional costs, but that would be stated before beginning the project. Average time to receive the first proof is 3-4 days, though times may vary depending on complexity and my current schedule.

– PAYMENT –

After the final design is approved, and the final invoice is sent, you can make the payment. Click on the PayPal logo on the home page, right side. This will open a PayPal window. You can type in the payment amount in the "Unit Price" window, and click update. Then you can type in your PayPal account information if you have one, or your credit card information. Then click send and payment will be complete.

The artists worked as a team to handle the volume among all the catalogs.

I also edited sound and music for the team.
